Authentication
API Keys
In Zoho Payments, API keys authenticate your account for secure access to the checkout widget, enabling you to receive payments from customers. This feature is ideal for customers integrating Zoho Payments through APIs.
To generate a new API key:
- Go to Settings and select Developer Space.
- Select the API keys tab and click Generate Key.
Insight: If the session has been inactive for an extended period or expired, you’ll get a pop-up to re-authenticate with your credentials before generating the key.
Your API key will be generated, and you can use this to authenticate your checkout widget. You can access the API key from Settings anytime and click the eye icon to view or hide the key.
Insight: Do not share or post the API Key anywhere since it is used for authentication in client code.
